RE: American Ginseng – Cash crop, medicine and more

in #foraging7 years ago

Great information. There are a lot of people in my area hunting and buying and selling ginseng but I'm just now getting interested in it. I have seen one root for sale for $3,000 because it was so old and large and highly prized in Asia.

Sort:  

I am not an expert, but from what I understand, if you let them grow for at least 5 years, even cultivate ones are considered the same was wild. Wild ones already bring more, plus the older they are the more Ginsenosides and Gintonins they have. I am thinking about seeing if my Dad will let me plant some on his deep woods property.
